Men's Rugby

Hello there, 

If you, like us, yearn to chase the illusive egg, then Rugby here at the University of Chichester is the society for you!

We offer an inclusive background for a vast range of abilities, with a squad offering a mixture of high-level players, casual players, players who are picking the ball back up after a hiatus, and even players who have never played before. There is something here for everyone.

Our training days are on Tuesdays and Fridays with games taking place on Wednesday afternoon in the South Eastern BUCS league. 

This year we are employing the services of Mike Westall to be the coach of the University Rugby team. Mike is an experienced Rugby player and Coach within the Army and Southsea Nomads. Mike has 10 years of coaching experience and has represented the University in the front row, having an impressive season winning Varsity and coming second in the league. Now, moving towards full-time coaching, he wants to fuel the squad with that winning ambition to secure another title this year. 

Weekly socials are run by our very own social secretaries to bond as a team before heading out to WSIHE (our student night here at the University). Furthermore, socials are often joint with other societies where you can make new friends outside of the society as well. We will encourage you to throw yourself into the social side as much as possible at the start of the year as it really helps team moral and cohesion on the pitch! This is a great way to get to know people across University life.

No matter who you are, if you are looking to play competitively, socially or just want to join a society for fun, the Rugby Club is the society for you!
